Some anti-macro suggestions
1) A nice idea, but I think 20 damage is way too much. It should be somewhere near 12-14. Some autoers are level 4-10s and have higher hp. Also I think it would annoy the non-auoting low levels if they had a connection loss. :( 2) Excellent idea, I couldn't disagree at all.

"Hidden Moderators"
Yes when someone sees a mod they think "oh cool a mature, no leetspeak, use actual periods in sentences player!" Most of them are like that, they like to represent jagex because jagex picked them, but some are not. A few months ago I was killing unicorns for some horns in Catherby. A player moderator came up and said "Move noob im mod i can ban u my unis plz." I was completely appaulded by the statement. When I said "Please can you switch worlds? I was here first," he totally started cussing me out, I mean literally like tons of *'s. I was so insulted I reported him.

Mario's bank pic!
Here are my current bank pics: (clue scroll: level 3, and I have a cannon it just broke) Note I am not a fan of barrows. I have the money to buy pratically all the sets, but honestly I don't like them because they degrade. I would hate using those armor and weapons thinking second by second that they might hit 0 and I have to go repair them. I am also not much of a combat person, I like to consider myself a skiller. I do have 81 rcing, and people expect me to be somewhat richer than I am today. Actually if you add up all those items along with many other low value items in my bank you will find they add up to 40M with average prices. Also note I have many items in my bank that are falling in value(whip, d2h, d wc axe). Some of these items I bought way before they even started dropping(whip at 2.6M, d2h at 1.8M, axe at 3.3M). Note though I do actually have a rare, which will continue to rise in value. I also have that type of bank because I really started nature crafting at level 62, and if you do the math that comes to about 100k nature runes needed to be crafted. 100K x 200ea profit = 20M. So really I have only made 20M from runecrafting, and of course plan to make more.

99 Karamja Frustrationing.
What makes me absolutely enraged is that you have to be 100 combat! Jagex basically ignored the skillers in the update, I can't even complete all the hard tasks now because of that stupid acheivement of getting a slayer task from Shilo! I mean c'mon, a level 60 could beat all quests, but it takes 100 combat just to talk to some guy? Sorry just a bit mad... Well anyway congrats.

Lumbridge- it's long past.
Thanks for the examples. That's what i was looking for. Could i use Charles? The others i'm not too fond of. Charles seems to fit the time more. Sure, I don't mind at all if you use one name. But please don't use any other names, you/I don't want to be accused of copying. :-$

The Advent
Wow, amazing story. I've read the first five chapters and I'm already really into the story. Very nice, you really capture the reader. I was just posting now because I couldn't wait to post my positive feedback! :ohnoes: I'll try to finish it soon! :P

Lumbridge- it's long past.
Indeed, after all, they have good names...Where do you think I get a couple of the names in my story from? (In the_corrupt, I used Xavier from X-Men, some greek names from the first one, an Ilia from Twilight princess, her name llia, so a bit of a change of course :wink: ). Edit: Off topic a bit: Sunny, please remind me to leave feedback on your stories. They are excellent, and for some odd reason, I never do. Here's the link: The_Advent: Enjoy, buddy. Leave feedback!!!! That is, if you want to. No pressure. Oh Hell, I'm typing too much. So enjoy yourself. The_Corrupt is getting some new chapters tonight, be sure not to read that one first...Or you won't get it, ok? :D Again, enjoy. : Thank you for the compliment, I love it when people post feedback on my stories. I am currently applying for some heavy reviewers by some great reviewers on RSOF. I will also start reading your story. :D If you don't mind... :P

Lumbridge- it's long past.
I can definatley help you with names, in fact, I'm probably one of the most creative people here in the library with names. But, you must tell me: Older, medieval sounding names, or medieval present? I like your coin idea, BTW. Oh (not trying to advertise) and if you need any inspiration, read my story, The_Advent followed by The_Corrupt...Leave feedback too, please (Still not trying to advertise, I like feedback, though :D ). If you want, take names from those stories--Except the main character. From those stories, you'll find inspiration...Hold on, I'll supply links so you can read 'em later. :thumbsup: I was thinking names that might fit the characters more. I'm happy with the duke names, wildheart names, Crystal has changed to ruby. But I'd like to know tha proper spelling of Geoffry. If you know it. I think the reason taht I'm not so creative today is that I've got tests in the morning. And I'm nervous. Oh, and thanks. I'll check out those threads. And I appreciate the help with names. edit: I've decided to use various names from video games based in that era. Such as fire emblem path of radiance and Legend of Zelda. they may not be original. But at least there pretty good. of course, I'll be making new characters all the time, so some names would not be unwelcomed. Yes it really just ruins the story if you have a main character named "Fred", or the most popular and annoying "David". In my stories I use such names as Charles, Daughin, Wiliburg, and Dale. Those aren't names you normally hear in everyday stories. Please don't use Joe... By the way it's spelled "Geoffrey".

Fullmetal wars start pg 3 Fin! Gonna write something else...
By the way, there is a 50,000 character limit to each post. I don't think you'll need all of those posts unless you plan on a 400K+ character story, and that's pretty hard to acomplish. It would be awesome though if you did. :)

If you could swap any 2 skill levels of your own?
Definately 99 fletching to 81 runecrafting. I would have every runecrafter's dream, and I could still make yew longs and easily get back 99 fletching.

Thank you, and I apologize for that response. I was just a bit mad on the subject, no need to get into detail.

Fullmetal wars start pg 3 Fin! Gonna write something else...
Don't ignore Archimage's advise, he's a damn good respected writer around these forums and he just gave you 5 long paragraphs on how to improve your story, and you're just going to ignore it? Stubborness won't get you very far in the library. Personally I also found your story boring, it wasn't interesting at all. Take his advise.

Interview With Andrew
Yes but all of that adds up to around 5 US dollars I believe. You also have to subtract the server rent for 140 servers. I also heard they have to pay for bankspace, it takes up space in the game or something. They also get money off ads, and from what I heard a considerable amount. I'm sure there's lots of other minor things that add up to be a large amount, so I doubt they can actually say they profit 5M a month. Even 500,000 would still be amazing.

Virus
Part II: Virus Chapter Six Daughin awoke the next morning feeling very sleepy from the hard night. Tossing and turning in his bed, a sore throat now in an alliance with his headache pounded his esophagus. Daughin rubbed his forehead, in some attempt to reduce the pain, and then rubbed his neck. When he sat up he coughed a deep cough, as if all the air in his body was being pushed out all at once. A raspy cough it was too. Nonetheless, Daughin dragged himself out of bed. He opened some of his drawers, and after a few minutes of searching, he found a small bottle of blue liquid. The liquid was Artemisia vulgaris, a common herb found in tropical places along the north part of Karamja, near the beach, crushed and liquified. The herb was soft and when ground down with a pestle and mortar, the blue bits that are not visible when seen on the inside of the herb begin to stain and takeover the green parts which are visible. The vulgaris helped with sleepiness, sort of like a boost in the morning if you needed it. With red eyes Daughin sipped a few doses of the vial, and wiped his lips. Time to cook breakfast. "Darn" Daughin cursed as he saw the food drawer was empty except for some 4 month-old Fruitlover's artificially flavored tomato seeds bag. He didn't even like tomato seeds! Time to go to the store. In Varrock it might be a little hard to find some good food in the morning. The sun rises from the west, so Fallador gets the sun first. There food traders line up on the streets and the half-awake citizens come to buy and snack on the goods. Sometimes though the traders stay for lunch, when it gets really crowded. A few of them travel to varrock, and by the time they reach it would already be mid-afternoon. They take a round from Fallador to Varrock to Lumbridge and back every day. Maybe Bob will have something good to eat, Daughin eagerly though. He put on some nice clean clothes, opened the door, and set off for the general store. Duaghin entered the general store that lovely morning. "I'll give ya 45k for it, cash." Bob said to two greedy looking rune merchants. "For a rune platebody? Surely this is some mistake! Not only are we merchants but real people with real families. We need the money to feed our young, and surely 45k is not enough to last a month" The merchant in the green robes remarked. "A month! Why I bet 45k could last a man three months! 45k my price is firm" The merchant in the red robes stepped in. "Rune platebodies are soon to be rare! We know, we've been speaking to the expert smiths! They know... they know that soon rune ore is going to be very rare. And if it is rare," the merchant made a hand gesture, "the price goes up!". "Why would I believe any of youse? I am a personal friend of one of the finest smiths in Glienor and he has said nothing about this shortage of ore!" "You don't understand... we are helping you. You see pretty soon all the rune items will be going way up, and that means you'll be rich! So how about you raise that price a few thousands lets say?" He grinned an evil grin. Bob smiled. "Wow really? I guess I should buy those fine platebodies for more! How about 90k for each? How many do you have?" Bob said. Daughin saw the flicker of excitement in the merchant's eyes. He knew exactly what they were thinking: Wow! He actually fell for it! "Oh we have about uhhh... 3 on us right now. We can get more if you want, I mean after all, we are only helping you." The red robed one said and exchanged a smile with the green. They were dissapointed though when Bob's face quickly turned from a smile to a half annoyed half angry face. Bob had played their own game with sarcasm. The merchants with quick reactions rushed for the door, but Bob picked them up by the collar with both of his hands. "Out with ya! Tryin to trick me like that!" Bob shouted as he chucked them out the shop. He clapped his hands together and sighed as the merchants picked themselves up and ran. Bob looked up and Daughin. "Merchant trouble?" "Yea blasted merchants these times of year, tryin' to make up stories right and left I swear." Bob paused and looked out the window for a long minute. "Well uh what'cha want?" Bob broke the awkard silence. Daughin scanned the shelves. He soon spotted a fresh box of eggs and walked over to them. "How much for four of these?" Daughin asked while examining them. "Eh... 100gp for the lot." Daughin pulled out a soft leather sac out of one of his pockets and handed it to Bob. He swiped four eggs out of the box and went on his way out of the general store. "Cya Daug" Bob cried as he headed for his house again. The eggs began to sizzle, sending a wonderful aroma into the air, trapped in Daughin's hut. He flexed his nostrils, and smiled at his work in the pan. Four eggs with their shiny yellow centers lay in the pan, crying to be eaten. Suddenly Daughin started coughing. He held his hand over his mouth as he coughed several times, each louder than the last. He held his chest as a sudden pain surged through, and he dropped his spatula. With a loud clink it hit the ground. He coughed louder and louder, as if his lungs were spilling every ounce of oxygen they contained. Then it stopped. Daughin stood back up, surprised from the incident. The eggs had burned, all four of them. An ugly brownish-black. "Darn it..." Daughin cursed. It was mid afternoon when Charles finally reached Brimhaven. He was dead tired from running all night; he knew he needed some rest. From uneasy goblins in Lumbridge to high seas on the boat, Charles was exhausted. There was only one hotel in Brimhaven, the Buck Face Hang. The name is strange; no one seems to know how it earned its name. Some say it was named after a famous pirate in the third ages named *Buck Face̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

Fastest skullball time topic
Skullball isn't the most popular sport, in fact it's probably even lower than gnomeball. It is still a very fun game, but it gives very low agility experience. I did it a long time ago and I don't remember my exact score, maybe I'll try it out again someday.

Jagex on Dragon Chains
Refer to my edit on the main page. I will also copy paste the following rebuttal into my original post. From a business standpoint (and Jagex definitely thinks this way, or else Andrew isn't one of the top 100 richest young British people), newer players are more easily enticed to play a game if it has better graphics. If you look at the monsters being updated - sheeps, cows, goblins - the majority of them are around Lumby, where noobs start. The undead even count as part of this - the changes to ghosts and zombies can be seen in Varrock sewer as well as the Stronghold of Security, two major F2P training spots. When would a noob EVER see the KQ? Probably never - so updating the KQ just for the sake of graphics doesn't really make sense for Jagex, businesswise. You could probably argue that it would make P2P more exciting, but we already have even more exciting opponents such as Barrows or Jad. Jagex pours manpower and money into its updates. Don't be naive enough to think that Jagex just wants to improve the game! I still think you've got the wrong idea. Every single update isn't about jagex trying to improve their business, some are just updates that well, barely have a point to them. Jagex probably just felt like a major monster- the KQ needed a graphics update. I think it is just a coinsidence that some of the monsters that have been updated just happen to be around lumbridge and f2p spots. In fact I don't see any strong connection there with new players anyway. The cows needed updating. They were basically cubes with a head and four legs. The dragons needed upating. Remember that cilinder with those cheesy looking wings? The zombies needed updating, they were made out of some very basic shapes too. Now that you look at the KQ, you really see that it is just made with some basic shapes like a stretched circle and a few complex legs here and there. I could probably create an accurate model of the Kalphite Queen in Rhino in no time. To be honest I think jagex is just having fun with this new update, I'm sure they love designing the KQ with her supposive "bloody" features. :) Also- would you please respond to my earlier arguements? You seemed to have ignored them. Berserker, Neitznot helm, or Barrows helm. :wink: Plenty of noob jobs pay ~200-300K an hour. That means 3M is 10-15 hours of work, or about 2 weeks. If you don't know any P2P noob jobs that pay 200-300K an hour, you're probably wasting your membership money, because there are LOTS of ways to do it. That is a complete lie. I have not seen one "noob" job offer that much money. See yourself on the runescape forums, there are tons of low levels hiring low levels for about 1k per hour doing some random job like mining copper or cutting 10 oak logs. The job market out there is NOT good at all. To be honest I see nothing wrong with medium levels having all this dragon armor. Why avoid the inevitable? Why try to slow it down? It's going to happen, eventually dragon chains are going to be less than a mil and they'll be about as popular as full rune. Jagex intended for this to happen, but doing through some graphical update? That doesn't sound like a plan at all, it just sounds like jagex feels the queen needs an update. Jagex is almost certainly going to improve the graphics of everything, they are doing this because they know improving graphics will help keep/attract new players. I would imagine that Jagex wants to produce the best product possible rather than produce a product that is just good enough to make them profit. I see no reason why a dragon platebody wont be introduced. If Jagex wants their game to continue to be successful they have to update things. I am aware that it must be veeeeeeeeeery hard for them to introduce new powerful items because the balance in this game is so precarious (look at all the furor surrounding the barrelchest anchors release for evidence) but that just means they have to plan carefully. Jagex seems to like aluding to changes in-game, so i wouldnt rule out anything. Please DO NOT misquote me, you know that you did and I suggest you take that out NOW. I do not like it when people type things that I never said. That is an offensive on these forums that can lead to action being taken against your forum account. jobs that make 1k an hour u dont actually work an hour, 10 oaks?! u can get that in 2 min at 15 wc and ppl wont buy 4 1k so ur arguement is pointless... I wasn't saying you could only get 10 oaks in an hour, I was saying that's literally what I see everyday on the rs forums. Low levels hiring low levels, picking 100 flax for 20gp ea, ect. I mostly see them actually looking for a job though, I must admit. Just go on there and see for yourself. Some topics: 42-43-10-43422511 14-15-640-43424324 19-20-660-43279813 30-31-600-43426827 41-42-825-43420108 31-32-193-43425526 This is not turning into a flame war. This is a constructive arguement, there has been absolutely no flaming involved so far. I have the right to strongly argue as a tip.iter and even as a CTET leader.

Rhino kitchen renders
Here are some pictures of Flamingo raytrace renders in Rhino of a kitchen I created. I hope you enjoy them. :) Full view My collection of knives : Close up view of the chair(note this was a Treefrog render) The fruitbowl Main sink area The other sink area Oven and microwave Spice drawer Exaggerated lights on the stove, you can also see a small Ipod near the cereal box Currently I'm working on a VERY detailed chess project, some chess peices have over one hundred parts. I am hoping this will come out to be a great project, and I will be looking foward to the render, I will use Flamingo(I hope it doesn't freeze up!).

Virus
Then in horror Charles realized he had left Wiliburg's room open! Damnit. Pete was already coming to the room, it would be very suspicious to see the door open. He knew what he had to do. Slowly and quietly, Charles lifted himself up from the bed so he was facing Pete's back. He tip-toed around the corner and so finally he was out of Pete's sight. "Wiliurg? Why is your door open?" He heard Pete remark. But it was only a faint voice now, Charles had exited the arena and gone outside. The cellar was just a few feet away, near some bushes so the public wouldn't have any interest in it. It was a small trapdoor with a small lock, but eventually Charles opened it and lifted the door. A cloud of dust exited, and he tried not to cough. After a few seconds, Charles made his way down the staircase to the cellar. The cellar was very large, it was almost as large as the arena. It contained three beds and was scrictly for emergency situations. Occasionally one patient would pop up every hour who had an arm hanging by literally a thread, or a very deep cut in the forehead, and so on. Several shelves lined the walls, which included a variety of materials. Sissors, glue, scapel, 8 different sized knives, balls of wool, balls of thread, a needle, a pickaxe, a chisel, some blood samples, and a large pot where they kept a small antfarm. The cellar also contained a window. But now here was a man lying on the middle bed, soaked in blood. Charles almost puked when he saw him for the second time, this time he was more of a horrible sight. It was almost as if the whole body had been liquified. His face was covered in blotches of purple and bruises, and then Charles realized what this man was. He was dead. "Damn!" Charles slammed his fists on the table. Now how would he find out where this man had been? He couldn't talk or communicate at all. Then, in the gleam of the moonlight from the window Charles saw a small vial of antipoison slip out of his pocket. He caught it right in time, before it broke. Charles examined it. "Antipoison..." He thought out loud. Then he snapped his fingers. "The Jungle! Of course!" He then heard Pete coming. He laid the vial down and rushed up the stairs, but as quietly as possible. Pete was almost at the trapdoor. Charles then leaped out of the trapdoor into a bush as it quietly shut behind him. He already saw Pete walking over. "Is somebody down there? I heard some slamming!" Pete called as he opened the door. He waited a few seconds and then gave up. Pete walked away back into his bed. "So it's the Jungle eh..." Charles remarked.

A friend! (not that good, sorry for grammer/spelling)
Yes I heard English is a very hard language to learn, I asked a couple of Spanish-speaking people once. I realize we have so many exceptions upon exceptions with words and sentences it gets very confusing. Overall good poem, it was nice. Mentioned earlier, it could use some fixing up.
